More like wut, Taskmage.

The BLM and RDM changes are total woot tho.

I wonder if by "transportations" they mean warp-ga or something like it. Or like, a special warp that warps players to various nations.

Black Mage
Recognize that skill chains are not happening and then no bursts. They are looking at lowering the resistance rate of skill chains in order to promote magic bursts. Also additions to transportations.

Woot

Red Mage
Considering magic to allow RDM to move up to front lines.

Woot!

Summoner
New ability. Restore MP by elemental spirits.

Woo- oot?

I'm reminded of the Playboy costume party(yes, I do read the articles, but the photos are a nice bonus); hundreds of gorgeous playmates wearing nothing but spray paint, pasted rhinestones, and smiles on their faces.

Eye contact between males and females was probably non-existant. I would definately be wearing a nice pair of sunglasses.

I'm not 100% but I think the WHM, THF, BST and RNG changes are all scheduled for the update on the 19th/20th. Don't quote me on that though.

As posted by Rain Blade (I didn't get to that review), our first questions on the Ask SE Dev Team was removed due to the response provided in the Job Adjustments recently announced. Our #2 question will replace it.

Here's a link of a lot to look forward to:

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Fan_Festival_2007_Live_Blog#Presentation_B

Here are some Job Adjustments

Warrior
Ability that creates a benefit to WAR for claims. Something like a MNK counter that also stores TP. Used to help pulling. Instead of creating a new tank job, trying to imporove existing tanks.

Monk
Concept for MNK is to reduce TP given. Possibly adding something to Kicks - either a weapon skill or a battle stance that slows (kick?) attack speed and increases potency.

White Mage
At the time of the new expansion - new spell called Repose - a sleep spell. Also effective with scholar sub. Also want to add more teleport spells.

Black Mage
Recognize that skill chains are not happening and then no bursts. They are looking at lowering the resistance rate of skill chains in order to promote magic bursts. Also additions to transportations.

Red Mage
Considering magic to allow RDM to move up to front lines.

Thief
New JA "Accomplice" - it will steal a PT enmity and transfer to himself. Used with perfect dodge or to help a mage in troble.

Design concept was attacker with magic. More dark magic specific spells for use in battle.

Beastmaster
Several new things. 1. Amount of HP with wait will be Greatly increased. 2. New pet command - Snarl - jug pet only order a pet to take all master enmity. A provoke for pets. 3. New pet food to cure all status aliments and lowering recast on reward.

Bard
New songs and abilities. Command to select a single target for a song. Make bard busier by increasing numbr of casts.

Ranger
New ability - Velocity Shot - ranged attacks will be faster and more powerful and mele will be less powerful.

Samurai
Concept is profession able to build TP. Recent additions made SAM too powerful. There will be some adjustments. Additions may include ability to improve skillchains - such as making them faster or reducing resistance to skillchains.

Ninja
Possible new ninjutsu with sneak effect. Possible new ability which temporarily reduces enmity and then restores it to previous amount.

Dragoon
Increase number of actions wyvern takes in battle.

Summoner
New ability. Restore MP by elemental spirits. Ability may also be tied to days of the week and weather. There will be another annoucement on SMN later tonight.
